This phrase is also the local dialect of Xiaohe Town, which means that too much salt is put aside for cooking.

Aunt Mei'er was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack to get into, she was really hand-born, she hadn't cooked for nearly ten years, and she had already put how much salt she should have put in it, looking at Mei Tang'er's anger, Mao's face was ugly, she suddenly slapped Mei Yindi's head, and scolded loudly: "How did you do it?" Didn't I tell you to put half a spoonful of salt? Why are you so stupid! ”

Mei Yindi couldn't bear it anymore, she still had a mouthful of pancake in her mouth and didn't swallow it, she was so aggrieved, she cried with her head covered, she also burned Jia's cooking, and there was never a problem, and the salt in the garlic was also added by her mother herself, how could it all depend on her? However, looking at Aunt Mei'er's vicious appearance, she didn't dare to mutter.

"Hold it! What to cry about! Second Uncle Mei was annoyed when he heard crying, and he ate sternly.

He has a bad temperament, and he has never had a good face for his daughter, he already has two sons, and it is reasonable that he should be particularly spoiled by the only daughter, but he has completely inherited the "fine tradition" of Mao's patriarchy, which can be seen from Mei Yindi's name. Daughter, isn't it inconvenient to feed the two of them and bring back the bride money for his son to marry his daughter-in-law!

Mei Yindi immediately held back her crying, gasping for breath and not taking her breath, desperately swallowing the pancakes in her mouth, choking her chest with panic.

No one at the dinner table took this matter too seriously, looking at Mei Yindi, the big cow and the second cow rolled their eyes, and looked at Mei Yindi like Second Uncle Mei.

The pancake kang can't be eaten, the garlic can't be salty, Mao's heart is very simmering, although the eldest daughter-in-law is a non-egg-laying person, but she can do work, no temperament, made such a year-old meal, never made a mistake.

Thinking about Jia's who pretended to be sick and couldn't come out to cook, Mao's face became even more gloomy, and he vigorously pulled the pancakes in his hands, soaked them in the hot porridge, and said fiercely: "One and two eat me and eat mine, and I want to serve!" The heart is ruthless, the poison is very bad, and if it weren't for my kindness, I would have divorced her, and my son would have had a ......."

When Aunt Mei first listened to Mao's scolding, her frightened body stiffened, her mother-in-law has a very powerful mouth, and she can say anything when she scolds people, so no matter who you are, she can't stand it. However, after hearing a few words, Aunt Mei realized that Mao was scolding her sister-in-law Jia, and knew that Mao didn't plan to pursue her today, so she hurriedly lowered her head to eat.

The toss in the Mei family hall was terrible, and Sister Qiu and Jia listened vaguely in the east room, but except for Mei Yindi's crying, the rest of the sounds were not real.

Jia Shi lay on the kang and sighed, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry about them." Sister Qiu said, "You see that without you at noon, don't they also eat hot rice?" If the two of us are not here, they will take care of Sister Yindi. ”

Jia Shi turned over, with pity in his expression, "Yindi is also a poor child, your second uncle and second aunt take care of your son, and your grandmother ...... It's like that again. ”

Sister Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at the place where no one was, Second Uncle Mei and Second Aunt Mei didn't hurt Mei Yindi very much, Jia wanted to pity her, and also take a look at Mei Yindi, this lady is not welcome, her lazy and harsh personality has learned from her father and mother, cutting pigs and feeding chickens has always been all grinding and grinding, and it was her turn to sweep the grass pig and the pigsty perfunctory, all of which were the next day Sister Qiu swept the double share, and Sister Qiu didn't have a good voice to talk to, and there was no respect for the elders of the Jia family, who were uncles and mothers. Look, everyone is glancing at the end of the eye.

"Leave her alone, let's cross the river by ourselves." Sister Qiu said, she was slightly disgusted by Jia's sympathy, if it weren't for Jia's being too kind, it wouldn't have been even Mei Yindi's ignorance of her.

Jia's tone of the goddess was not as good as before, and he also knew that Mei Yindi had bullied Sister Qiu, so he no longer spoke, but sighed in his heart. Mei Yindi is the first child of the Mei family's generation, she was born white and fat, and she is not very troublesome. He said that the first grandson of the Zhuang family, whether it is a male grandson or a female grandson, is a happy thing, and the first child must like it. I only complained that she didn't give birth to a child after many years when she entered the door, and the family had too much expectations for Aunt Mei's belly, and finally saw that it was a girl who was born.

After eating, Aunt Mei excused herself to be heavy and uncomfortable, so she casually asked Mei Yindi to wash the dishes, and then dragged Second Uncle Mei back to the west room, closed the door and asked Mao what he was looking for.

Mei Tang told the story of the original thing, but only hid the fact that the Mao family gave him 20 copper plates. Second Aunt Mei patted her leg happily and urged, "Then you can go quickly!" She hangs the marriage of the Rong family on the side of her lips all day long, and in her eyes, Sister Qiu is the life of the eldest young lady? I don't want to see if people want her daughter! In vain, let's pay her man's funeral money for her, phew! I'm not ashamed! I heard Mama Li say two days ago that there was a daughter on her mother's house who was born well, only 13 years old, and someone gave a dowry of 30 taels of silver! ”

"So much money?" Mei Tang was very surprised, a girl is just a film, can it be worth so much money?

Aunt Mei stretched out three fingers and gestured to the palm of a three, with an exaggerated expression, "A real 30 taels of silver!" Smack, if you want me to say, even if you sell it to a dealer, you may be able to sell it for 30 taels, which can make a lot of money, and all the people on a Zhuangzi are envious of him for raising a good daughter! I see that Sister Qiu is not bad, if she can also say that she is such a pro and pays off her debts, the rest should be enough to study for Da Niu. ”

"People can ask for so much, but we may not." Second Uncle Mei unconsciously said, "Speaking of which, this Lu Ya dealer hasn't passed by our door for a long time...... "After Lu Ya sent Sister Qiu back, he came to Xiaohe Town several times, but all of them walked around the Mei family's door. Once Uncle Mei went out for a stroll, he met Lu Ya Dealer at the entrance of the village, just went forward and called, ready to ask how Sister Qiu recommended the work, this has been all old for a long time, but it was the Lu Tooth Dealer who chased and bit after him, nodded at him and hurriedly pulled the cart and ran away.

Second Aunt Mei was about to open her mouth when she heard this, but Second Uncle Mei waved her hand impatiently, "You don't have to think about it so much, I see that our mother didn't sell Sister Qiu, I have been working with her for a long time, she just won't let go, what can I do?" If you want to send Da Niu to study, our mother will definitely not agree. Do you still wonder about this from time to time? Why don't you see what kind of meal you made in the afternoon? ”

Mei Tang, who didn't eat well, almost went crazy, fortunately, the family ate by themselves, if this is known to outsiders, his daughter-in-law cooks like that, where does his face go? It's stupid to not even serve all of your own men!

"Then you can blame me! Isn't the sister-in-law lazy? I'm out of luck! Second Aunt Mei knew that she was wrong, and she only dared to mumble softly, and she didn't dare to quarrel with Mei Tang.

During dinner, Jia's went into the small kitchen to cook, and Aunt Mei'er looked at it from the west room through the gauze curtain, and was happy in her heart.

Mao sat under the eaves of the house, rummaging through the soybeans harvested last year in the bamboo basket, preparing to pick out the good bean seeds, and planting them in two days.

During dinner, Mao's gave Sister Qiu and Jia's all a nest, and the sweet sauce and pickled vegetables were also slightly closer to Sister Qiu, and Sister Qiu and Jia's were not uncomfortable from beginning to end.

After Jia Shi entered the house at night, she still couldn't believe it, she felt that she didn't go to cook at noon, how could Mao Shi seize the opportunity to scold her for being angry, and she would not give up if she didn't make amends.

Sister Qiu saw that Jia Shi had a relaxed smile on her face since she entered the house, and couldn't help but ask: "Mother, what is the happy thing, happy to be like this?" ”

Jia's face flushed, a little embarrassed, and sat on the edge of the kang with Sister Qiu, and said softly: "I didn't come out to cook at noon, and your grandmother didn't say anything, so I was a little ......" In this family, only the girl is the closest to her, and she doesn't have the heart to say these words to others, but she has no reservations about Sister Qiu.

If Jia's literacy is hyphenated, she knows that her happy mood at this time can be defined as "flattered", begging for a life under Mao's hands, even if she does a good job and serves thoughtfully, she will become the object of her anger when she is unhappy.

Sister Qiu laughed, pointed to the direction of the west side house and whispered to Jia: "I just went to mix pig food for grass pigs, and I saw a few millet flour pancakes thrown in the pig trough, which were charred and blackened, and the grass pigs didn't eat them all. ”

Jia was surprised, all the Zhuang families cherished the grain, even the landlord's family did not have the luxury of feeding the grass pig with millet flour pancakes, this kind of waste of food is really damned. Mao's food has always been tight, and it is impossible to make a matter of feeding grass pigs with millet flour pancakes.

"I guess the second aunt cooked at noon, and the rice can't be eaten, so you can hope to live." Sister Qiu said softly, since Sister Qiu has memories, Aunt Mei is either holding Erniu around, or hiding in the house to wipe her face and smear osmanthus oil, and has never been in the small kitchen to cook, all for several years, even if she used to be a good cook, she couldn't make any good things.

Although Mao looked down on his own work, Jia still felt very proud and proud. She is a traditional farmer woman, diligent and quick, all the work in the field and the work in the house are all good hands, in terms of ability, there are few daughters-in-law in the village can compare with her. are all concubines, she very much disagrees with Aunt Mei'er's lazy temper of stealing and playing, but she has no son, so she is psychologically shorter than Aunt Mei'er, and she is bullied by Aunt Mei'er.
